The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — I — and what happens in the verse to appearance, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Jonathan and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 48 chapters of Ezekiel on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וָאֶרְאֶ֗ה וְהִנֵּ֤ה דְמוּת֙ כְּמַרְאֵה־אֵ֔שׁ מִמַּרְאֵ֥ה מָתְנָ֛יו וּלְמַ֖טָּה אֵ֑שׁ וּמִמָּתְנָ֣יו וּלְמַ֔עְלָה כְּמַרְאֵה־זֹ֖הַר כְּעֵ֥ין הַחַשְׁמַֽלָה׃ [Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins and downward, fire; and from his loins and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of electrum.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.148/) ## The tree {#tree} Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:EZK:141 # text = וָאֶרְאֶ֗ה וְהִנֵּ֤ה דְמוּת֙ כְּמַרְאֵה־אֵ֔שׁ מִמַּרְאֵ֥ה מָתְנָ֛יו וּלְמַ֖טָּה אֵ֑שׁ וּמִמָּתְנָ֣יו וּלְמַ֔עְלָה כְּמַרְאֵה־זֹ֖הַר כְּעֵ֥ין הַחַשְׁמַֽלָה׃ # verse = EZK.8.2 1-2 וָאֶרְאֶ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_8:2!1|MId=o260080020011|Strong=2050b 2 אֶרְאֶ֗ה רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.saw|Ref=EZK_8:2!1|MId=o260080020012|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:260010030061;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 וְהִנֵּ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_8:2!2|MId=o260080020021|Strong=2050b 4 הִנֵּ֤ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 10 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=EZK_8:2!2|MId=o260080020022|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 5 דְמוּת֙ דְּמוּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=a.likeness|Ref=EZK_8:2!3|MId=o260080020031|Strong=1823 6-7 כְּמַרְאֵה־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=like.[the]|Ref=EZK_8:2!4|MId=o260080020041|Strong=3509a 7 מַרְאֵה־ מַרְאֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 parataxis _ Gloss=appearance|Ref=EZK_8:2!4|MId=o260080020042|Strong=4758 8 אֵ֔שׁ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.fire|Ref=EZK_8:2!5|MId=o260080020051|Strong=0784 9-10 מִמַּרְאֵ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=[was].from|Ref=EZK_8:2!6|MId=o260080020061|Strong=4480 10 מַּרְאֵ֥ה מַרְאֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=the.appearance|Ref=EZK_8:2!6|MId=o260080020062|Strong=4758 11-12 מָתְנָ֛יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 מָתְנָ֛י מׇתְנַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.hips|Ref=EZK_8:2!7|MId=o260080020071|Strong=4975 12 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EZK_8:2!7|MId=o260080020072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13-15 וּלְמַ֖טָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_8:2!8|MId=o260080020081|Strong=2050b 14 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=EZK_8:2!8|MId=o260080020082|Strong=3807a 15 מַ֖טָּה מַטָּה ADV _ _ 10 conj _ Gloss=downwards|Ref=EZK_8:2!8|MId=o260080020083|Strong=4295 16 אֵ֑שׁ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=fire|Ref=EZK_8:2!9|MId=o260080020091|Strong=0784 17-20 וּמִמָּתְנָ֣יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and.[was]|Ref=EZK_8:2!10|MId=o260080020101|Strong=2050b 18 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=EZK_8:2!10|MId=o260080020102|Strong=4480 19 מָּתְנָ֣י מׇתְנַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 26 obl _ Gloss=hips|Ref=EZK_8:2!10|MId=o260080020103|Strong=4975 20 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EZK_8:2!10|MId=o260080020104|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 21-24 וּלְמַ֔עְלָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_8:2!11|MId=o260080020111|Strong=2050b 22 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=EZK_8:2!11|MId=o260080020112|Strong=3807a 23 מַ֔עְל מַעַל ADV _ _ 19 conj _ Gloss=upwards|Ref=EZK_8:2!11|MId=o260080020113|Strong=4605 24 ָה ה X _ _ 23 nmod _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_8:2!11|MId=o260080020114|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 25-26 כְּמַרְאֵה־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=like.[the]|Ref=EZK_8:2!12|MId=o260080020121|Strong=3509a 26 מַרְאֵה־ מַרְאֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 conj _ Gloss=appearance|Ref=EZK_8:2!12|MId=o260080020122|Strong=4758 27 זֹ֖הַר זֹהַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.brightness|Ref=EZK_8:2!13|MId=o260080020131|Strong=2096 28-29 כְּעֵ֥ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=EZK_8:2!14|MId=o260080020141|Strong=3509a 29 עֵ֥ין עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Sing 26 nmod _ Gloss=the.appearance|Ref=EZK_8:2!14|MId=o260080020142|Strong=5869 30-32 הַחַשְׁמַֽלָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 31 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZK_8:2!15|MId=o260080020151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 31 חַשְׁמַֽל חַשְׁמַל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 29 compound:smixut _ Gloss=(to|Ref=EZK_8:2!15|MId=o260080020152|Strong=2830 32 ָה ה X _ _ 31 nmod _ Gloss=[the].shining.substance|Ref=EZK_8:2!15|MId=o260080020153|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=EZK_8:2!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: speech with no frame - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֶרְאֶה *I saw* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
